1.0  Introduction 

One of the primary goals of the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District (District) is to 

maintain or improve the quality of surface waters to meet or exceed the water quality necessary to 

support the District’s designated beneficial uses.  In 1997 the District established beneficial use 

categories based on desired recreational activities for a waterbody; and revisited again with the 2006 

update as part of the development of the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District Watershed 



Management Plan (Plan) (Barr, 1997; Barr, 2006 [draft]),.  The recreational-use categories are 

ranked from Level 1 through Level 5, with Level 1 water bodies having the highest number of 

recreational uses and best water quality.  

In order to help achieve desired water quality goals established in Plan, many of the lakes within the 

District have been studied in Strategic Lake Management Plans (SLMPs).  However, for many of the 

smaller lakes within the District, SLMPs have not yet been completed and District water quality 

goals have not been re-evaluated.  Because of limited lake information and water quality data, the 

development of a complete SLMP would not be possible for many of these small water bodies.  

Instead, a Lake Status Report (LSR) will be developed and recommendations will be made to outline 

future studies for these lakes.   

The purpose of this LSR is to summarize and evaluate the available information for Round Lake (in 

Little Canada) which has not been previously studied and to determine appropriate water quality 

goals based on the current and desired recreational uses, as outlined in the Plan, and through 

discussion with District staff.  The watershed areas tributary to Round Lake has already been 

modeled as part of the development of the larger Phalen Chain of Lakes SLMP (Barr, 2004 [Draft]).  

Figure 1-1 shows the location of Round Lake. 

The Plan (Barr, 2006 [draft]) includes preliminary water quality goals and management classes for 

each of the District-managed lakes.  The water quality goals are defined in terms of total phosphorus 

(TP), chlorophyll a (Chl a), and Secchi disc (SD).  The goals outlined in the Plan will remain 

preliminary until an SLMP or other similar study, such as this LSR, is completed and appropriate 

goals are determined.  The preliminary goals are consistent with either the Minnesota Pollution 

Control Agency’s (MPCA) proposed draft criteria for shallow lakes in the North Central Hardwood 

Forests (CHF) ecoregion (MPCA, 2005), or the goals listed in the 1997 Plan.

For lakes, the District management classes are identified as either “Improvement” or “Prevent further 

degradation.”  An “Improvement” class is warranted if the public perceives a need for water quality 

improvement and there are feasible management options that will accomplish water quality 

improvement.  A “Prevent further degradation” class is assigned when current water quality meets 

the goals set for the lake.  A “Prevent further degradation” class does not, however, imply inaction.  

Rather, development requirements, fisheries, shoreline, and macrophyte management; as well as 

additional water quality improvement projects; are pursued for the lake as opportunities and budgets 

allow.   

For wetlands, the District has developed management Classes A, B, and C, based on a recent 

inventory and assessment of wetlands within the District.  The wetland classification is based on the 

estimated quality of the wetland, with management Class A being the highest quality wetlands.  

Water bodies classified as “Water Quality Pond” are constructed treatment ponds only.   

Additional classifications of the water bodies based on water quality include the Impaired Waters 

List under Section 303(d) of the Federal Clean Water Act (CWA).  Those water bodies that do not 

meet the water quality standards established under the CWA are included on this list and future 

development of total maximum daily loads (TMDL) is required.  The Minnesota Department of 

Natural Resources (MDNR) has developed another ecological management classification system for 

Minnesota lakes (Schupp, 1992) that is based on parameters such as lake size, depth, chemical 

fertility, and growing season length.   

Table 1-1 summarizes the goals and classifications of Round Lake Lake.  Note that for District-

managed wetlands there are no water quality goals established.  Additionally, note that the 2006 

Preliminary RWMWD Water Quality Goals are those listed in the Plan (Barr, 2006 [draft]).  The 

2006 Proposed RWMWD Water Quality Goals are the result of this LSR and evaluation of the 

information available for the Lake.

2.0  Lake Status Summary 

2.1  Round Lake (in Little Canada) 

2.1.1  Lake and Watershed Characteristics 

2.1.1.1 

Description of Round Lake 

Round Lake is located just south of Little Canada Road in Little Canada (Township 29, Range 22, 

Section 6) and is a 12-acre District-managed lake.  It is also classified as a Protected Public Water in 

the MDNR Public Waters Inventory (62-9P) and is considered a shallow lake, according to the 

MPCA’s criteria (MPCA, 2005).   

The maximum depth of Round Lake is 6.6 feet.  Approximate bathymetric contours have been 

created using lake survey data gathered by the District in 2002 and can be seen in Figure 2-1.  There 

is also historic lake level data available for Round Lake from 1934 to 2006 (as seen in Figure 2-2).  

The primary outlet is located on the eastside of Round Lake and is a 24-inch RCP with a flared-end 

section and discharges to Gervais Creek.  The outlet can be seen in Figure 2-3.  The NWL of Round 

Lake is 901.1 feet MSL.  The 100-year flood elevation was determined to be 904.8 feet MSL during 

the development of the District Watershed Management Plan (Barr, 1997; Barr, 2006 [draft]).  

Figure 2-4 shows the extent of the 100-year critical flood.   

2.1.1.2 Watershed 

Characteristics 

The Round Lake watershed (including the lake surface area) covers a 214-acre area south of Owasso 

Boulevard and east of Highway 49 and is part of the larger Lake Gervais watershed.  Commercial and 

low-density residential land uses are the major land uses with the breakdown within the watershed as 

follows:  Agricultural (0.5%), Commercial (27.6%), High-density residential (12.1%), 

Industrial/office (9.7%), Low-density residential (33.3%), Natural/Park/Open (8.7%), Open water 

(5.8%), and Wetland (2.3%).  See Figure 2-5 for a map of watershed land use.   

Drainage from the watershed flows generally to the east.  There are four storm sewer outfalls into 

Round Lake (per the District survey, 2002).  Figure 2-6 shows the general drainage pattern in the 

Round Lake watershed.   



2.1.1.3 Recreational-Uses 

Round Lake is surrounded by primarily residential and commercial land uses, and there is no public 

land or access to the lake.  Therefore, the recreational-use is limited to those living around the lake.

It currently is classified to have Level 2 recreational-uses according to the District’s classification 

system.  With a Level 2 classification, the major associated uses are canoeing, picnicking, and 

aesthetic viewing.  However, there is question as to whether the lake is actually used for canoeing.

2.1.2  Water Quality Data 

2.1.2.1 

Water Quality Analysis 

There is no water quality data for Round Lake with the exception of single Secchi disc measurements 

from the summers of 1995 and 1996.  Therefore, there was insufficient data to run a trend analysis on 

the data.  The mean Secchi disc transparency based on the two observations from the summers of 

1995 and 1996 was 0.6 meters.  This resulted in a Carlson TSI, based only on Secchi disc values, of 

68.  This places Round Lake in the Eutrophic to Hypereutropic state, indicating poor water quality 

and limited recreational-uses. 

Visual observations from the same dates as the Secchi disc sampling suggest there was medium to 

high algae growth in the lake, which are consistent with an eutrophic to hypereutrophic state.  No 

fishery, macroinvertebrate, phytoplankton, or zooplankton surveys have been collected for Round 

Lake.  Additionally, concerns about Round Lake water quality have been expressed by a few 

shoreline residents as far back as 1995 (District, 2006).   



2.1.2.2 

P8 Modeling Results 

The P8 Model of the Round Lake watershed was run for wet, dry, and average climatic conditions.  

Water and total phosphorus loads to Round Lake were determined for each climatic period.  The 

results of this modeling are summarized in Table 2-1.

It is important to note that climatic condition periods were selected based on depths of precipitation 

over a 17-month period that included the summer before the water year of interest because it is 

assumed that the water and TP load to the lake during this period affects the following year’s spring 

TP concentration.  During the 12-month period from October through September (the water year), 

however, the water load to the lake was slightly higher during the average year than the wet year.

Conversely, the TP load was higher in the wet year than in the average year over this 12-month 

period due to the fact that higher TP loading is often associated with the smaller, more frequent storm 

events like the ones that occurred between October 2001 and September 2002. 

2.1.3 Recommendations 

2.1.3.1 Water 

Quality 

Goals 

Preliminary District water quality goals for TP, Chl a, and SD are listed in the updated 2006 draft 

Plan.  These goals are the same as those listed in the 1997 Plan, and the District management class is 

listed as “Improvement.”  Round Lake is not listed on the CWA 303(d) Impaired Waters List and it 

has no MDNR ecological class assigned.  See Table 1-1 for a summary of applicable classifications 

and preliminary goals established for Round Lake. 

The Minnesota Lake Eutrophication Analysis Procedure (MINLEAP) is a screening tool for 

estimating lake conditions and for identifying “problem” lakes.  In addition, MINLEAP modeling has 

been done in the past to identify Minnesota Lakes which may be better or worse than they “should 

be” based on their location, watershed area and lake basin morphometry. 

Results from MINLEAP suggest that the expected water quality in a minimally impacted lake, 

similar to Round Lake (based on its location within the Central Hardwood Forest ecoregion and with 

its basic basin and watershed characteristics), would be within the following ranges for TP, Chl a

and SD; respectively:  55 to 98 

μg/L, 17 to 58 μg/L, and 0.6 to 1.3 meters.  When comparing these 

ranges to the 2006 Preliminary water quality goals established by the District, it appears that the 

water quality goals are on the low end of the expected ranges predicted by MINLEAP. 

2.1.3.2 Recreational-Use 

Level 

Although currently classified as a Level 2 lake, its recreational uses are limited to residents living 

around the lake, as there is no public access.  It is questionable that Round Lake is used for canoeing 

due to its limited access.  It is recommended that the District recreational use category be changed to 

a Level 3 or Level 4 classification with the desired recreational uses being predominantly aesthetic 

and wildlife viewing.   



2.1.3.3 Further 

Studies 

If the District identifies water quality in Round Lake as a high priority, the first recommendation 

would be to collect additional lake information, including concurrent water quality, macrophyte, and 

fishery data, as there is currently not sufficient data for Round Lake to establish the baseline water

quality for the lake.  Only after understanding the lake’s existing water quality can reasonable goals 

and direct management options be established for the lake.

3.0  Conclusions 

In summary, for Round Lake there is little information available with regards to water quality, 

macrophytes, and fisheries.  Because of limited information, updated District water quality 

management goals cannot be established.  Table 3-1 below summarizes the proposed District 

recreational-use levels, water quality goals, and management classes based on evaluation of the data 

available for Round Lake.

of the lake and determine whether or not the Preliminary District Goals are reasonable for this resource.
